I think everyone needs to give themselves a break. Pandemic conditions are tough under the best of circumstances, I can’t imagine what it must be like being single and on the younger side. This would have destroyed me in my 20s. It takes an effort even under normal circumstances to be out and socialize and make new friends and having a huge part of those “easy” interactions taken away by WFH is not easy for anyone. I would resist making big life changes (city, job, etc) until things get back to a certain level of normal. Meanwhile, try to find hobbies or activities that safely involve interacting with other humans. It’s easier said than done but it’s worth the effort. Hang in there.

I feel this so hard. I moved to a new city 2.5 years ago, had a few friends there. Hung out occasionally, but think that what kept me sane was the comradery at work. I could go BS with whoever I wanted at any point in the day. Since the beginning of the pandemic I decided to stay with my parents because I knew I’d struggle but it’s still been awful. I’ve been in a terrible mood for about a year and have no energy. I went from an outgoing, happy, and bubbly guy to being a cynical downer who can’t find joy in anything. Honestly considering leaving my firm because I can’t handle it anymore, but second guess if it’s the job or just WFH. Hang in there fam!

I feel the same way. It’s because we lost a lot of connections working from home . I’ve started to socialize more with friends , coworkers , gym etx . It’ll get better
Humans aren’t meant to be alone this much. You can want to be around ppl and also like yourself as a person at the same time
Wow I’m exactly the same. My therapist says I have codependency and recommended the book Codependent No More
